When must the term Takay be eliminated from Rutherglen labels?

The term "Takay" must be eliminated from Rutherglen labels by 2020 to conform to the standards set forth by the regulations governing wine labeling in Australia. This term had been associated with a particular style of fortified wine produced in the Rutherglen region, which is renowned for its rich and complex dessert wines. The decision to phase out the term was part of an effort to standardize labeling practices and ensure clarity for consumers regarding the quality and style of wines. By 2020, the expectation was that wineries would have fully transitioned to using more appropriate and recognized labeling practices that better reflect contemporary viticultural and vinification standards. This change helps protect the integrity of the Rutherglen wine region and enhances consumer understanding of the products available in the market.
